Wanted Comics #26
The featured story concerns criminal John Wormly, wanted for murder. A woman consults a crystal ball and sees visions of Wormly alive despite reports of his death, leading to a criminal investigation. The narrative follows two killers on horseback who are hunted through the night; one character named Craig is shot, and the surviving killer plans to bury treasure and return for it later. The main story concludes with the tale of Johnny Fargo, a stooge in a criminal gang who escapes a police trap through a tunnel with gang boss Big Charlie; Johnny later shoots Big Charlie out of wounded pride when Charlie mockingly calls him a stooge, causing Johnny to lose control of their getaway car and crash into a tree, ending with both men dead and the case closed.
